According to a source in the Vikings organization, they have increased their trade offer for Jared Allen to 1st and 3rd round picks in 2008 and a 2nd round pick in 2009.

They should, i hope that is the case, even though i want their 2nd this year!

Depending on what value chart you look at, their 3rd in 2008 and 2nd in 2009 is basically equal to a 2nd in 2008.

I still don't think Carl will accept this just because he gets a sick thrill out of being a SOB during negotiations.

The case: Carl is hesitant to break the bank to sign JA because he's a DUI away from a one-year suspension; JA has been a baby about it and doesn't want to be here, and an NFC team is offering 3 first day (or at least what used to be first-day) draft picks. Hate to lose JA, but it's not a bad deal.

Two "average (mid-round)" first round picks equals about 2,000 points on the NFL Draft Pick Value Chart.....they are offering about 1500-1600 points in return. It's closer, but they need to kick in another mid-round choice IMHO.

Yeah - I know but I figure that the VIKES might. They'll at least be better next year than this. That 2nd rounder next year will be close to a 3rd. I just want the most I can get now - they're getting that - right?

BigRedChief

04-21-2008, 02:02 PM

They won't get a #1 and #2 this year. No team is going to do that on top of committing $25-$30 million to JA that they can't get back.

The Vikes 1st and their first 3rd rounder this year and 2nd in 2009 is probably the best deal they will get for JA.

http://www.theredzone.org/2006/draft/draftvaluechart.asp

Two first round picks (2008 and 2009) are not worth about 2,000 points. Given that a 1st round pick next year is equal to a 2nd round pick this year, two mid-round 1st round picks are about 1500 points.

Their #17 pick and their 1st 3rd round pick (#73) are combined 1175pts. Add a mid-round 2nd from next year (equivalent to a mid-round 3rd this year) and you get another 195 which gives a total of 1370.

I'm starting to agree.

I wouldn't mind throwing them a mid-rounder if it means one of those picks gets upgraded, though.

Like... They get Jared Allen and a 5th, we get a 2008 1st and 2nd, and a 2009 2nd.

I don't know the math behind it, but I'd like it.

What if the Chiefs drafted Chris Long this year, then used that extra 1st, 2nd and 3rd to draft:

A franchise left tackle
A complementary starting wide receiver
A stud offensive guard

Sure, it's optimistic...but it could happen! Jared Allen could be our Jesus Christ! His sacrifice could forgive the sins of Carl's past 19 years!

Coogs

04-21-2008, 02:14 PM

An extra 2nd rounder next year might not be all bad, even if it is pick #64. And you never know, it could be much higher. Things happen. For example, who would have ever thought the Cleveland pick that Dallas got would not have been in the top 5, maybe even top 2 or 3? Same thing in reverse could happen for the Vikings.

As far as doing all the picks this year. Minnesota does not want to do #17 (worth 950 points) and #47 (worth 430 points), which is a total of 1380 points.

But they would go #17 and a 3rd... I'll use the higher pick here which could be the wrong one... at #73(worth 225 points) for a total of 1175 points.

How about this, which is somewhere in the middle of those two things...

We give them our 3rd at #66 which is worth 260 points, and they give us their 1st (950), 2nd (430), and lower 3rd which is #82 (180). That has a total point value of 1300, which is pretty well meeting in the middle.

Gives us
#5
#17
#35
#47
#82

I'd personally wait until draft day and see how the 1st 4 picks play out before I make any decision. Dorsey falling to us shines a whole new light on the possibility of matching an offer for Allen. The safety net is, if we don't match, we get 2 1st's.

I'm not saying we do. I'm saying that if the best DT prospect in the draft falls to us at 5 would make me think hard about it. Also, I recoginize that Allen hasn't signed an offer sheet yet, but he's still visiting the 2nd team that has shown interest. Why not wait and see where the fair market values him. I'm all for getting what's best for this team.

It's a tough call. Allen is a premier talent just coming into his prime. A first and third this year and a second next year could turn out to be undercompensation because I believe he has the potential to be better than Jason Taylor.

On the other hand, Allen doesn't want to play for us. AND, I think Herm's talent evaluation is far superior to the Vermeil era's. If we can pick up a first, second, and third; I'd say that's acceptable compensation.

However, I really believe that fair compensation would be two firsts OR a first and second this year and a second next year. The bottom line is that Allen is a stud in his prime with questionable character. We're rebuildining our team and three first day picks is the asking price for an All-Pro just entering into his prime, IMO.

If Allen didn't have any personal problems I can see a team giving up the 2 first round picks, but with the possibility that they have to trust this guy stays clean we are still making out well in this deal. In fact I'm shocked that they are offering the 2nd in 09.

It's not two 1st but If we are gonna let Allen go then that's not a bad deal. We'll have so many picks in the 2008 and 2009 drafts that we should have several trade up options if we desire a certain player. We could end up with the first pick in this years draft by trading with the Dolphins even. We could trade the 17th overall and a combination of 2nd and 3rd rounders. We could actually end up with two elite players from this draft. J Long and Dorsey or Long and Long or J Long and Ryan. Or we can make our picks and be in a position to trade up in next years draft. It would be nice to have draft day options for a change.
